Ernie Street: So it does look odd, but it's also impressive. If it's a prop, it is well done.

The camera coming in and out of focus is interesting. Makes it seem more authentic if it was indeed staged.

The face is very detailed. And although it looks surreal ,often extreme close ups with camera lenses offering this depth of field give this effect. The eye blinking looks, but it could have to do with being slowed down, coupled with the depth of field.

Is there more than just this footage? How long did he have the shot? If this is it then it puts another notch in the questionable slot.

I appreciate your observation and evaluation. What it REALLY seems to me that is going on with all of the bigfoot so-called professional bigfoot hunters and researchers who caterwallering and nay-saying, trying to lay the biggest hit on, is that they are wanting to discredit anyone or any data that would prevent them or the organization from bombing a huge story on the public. I'm speaking of many in both Canada and the U.S., illustrated by those two guys on Sunday night who present an interesting program, but then ruin it by labeling other hunters and researcher as stupid and dumb. Seems to me that the people who are stupid are the arrogant ones such as these two guys. I'm posting under anonymous, but my name is Jim Porter.

I do not call Todd Standings videos evidence, he needs to go to work with some haunted attractions because he might do well, but this is all hoaxed... It's not even a good hoax, and why you so called experts give his work the time of day shows you really just are not experts at all

So it does look odd, but it's also impressive. If it's a prop, it is well done.

If is on Survivorman it must be real, amirite? They can't put things on basic cable reality shows if they're not real.

Seriously, is this all it takes to forget Standing's long-standing reputation as a hoaxer? Even Cryptomundo thinks he's a fraud, and they're pretty much the marketing department for every sideshow attraction from Dyer to the aptly named Moneymaker. It's a good thing you're not claiming it's real, Ernie, because it's obviously not. I'll believe Standing when he was 35mm footage of Bigfoot jumping rope in Times Square.

I agree, the eye blinking looks very "mechanical". In the shot where you see the eye blink, it seems like it would have been possible to simply adjust the camera so that both eyes could be seen. I am suspicious of the video, even though I do personally believe Bigfoot exist.

I truly believe this is real no question. Observing the facial structure and how all the hair is kind of matted and dirty it is so amazing that he got this. Im saying now and truely I am being honest I would go with Todd and help him I would love it I would want to see one for myself and have experiences such as his so that I could also have his back all the way. The face of this bigfoot is just outstanding I cant stop looking at it and when he blinks it is so real and he is trying to move as slow as he can to be undetected its not slow-motion. After he blinks if you watch close you can see his eyebrow move a little as if he twitched. I just cant get enough of this guy i wish i could contact Todd in some way my email is keithnickel102@gmail.com i have a location to share as well and i believe they are up there because my family has had encounters for so many years up there its called cook creek and its off of spruce run in Oregon great place btw beautiful up there

11:16. Keep in mind that "most of the bigfooting world" seems to be drawn into cliques and alliance's that have nothing to do with looking for sasquatch and EVERYTHING to do with promotion. Want an example? Just look at the headline on the Anders themed blog above this one. He's not on the Bigfoot Evidence team so he must be ridiculed, marginalized, attacked etc. I don't know if his stuff is real or not but from Shawn's point of view, that's a moot point. HE'S NOT ONE OF US! GET HIM! And this from a guy who gives a ranting taxi cab driver a forum to scream for attention. I'd rather watch a potential muppet from Standing than a Stacy Brown Spike TV financed meth bender any day of the week. Shawn on the other hand....

11:16 footers are like The Terminator. They do not feel,you can not reason with them and they will never stop bleeving. It is what they are programmed to do and they will never give up. It is best to just make jokes at their expense.

The head is perfectly still and not a hair is out of place. I don't care if BF is trying to sit still, I would expect to see some head, nose or other movement.The blink is also slow like it wants you to see it blink and the movement over the eye isn't normal for a blink.I can't say 100% for certain it's fake because it could be normal for an unknown species... but I have strong doubts about it.

You need to watch the youtube clip more carefully. At the end you can see the subject extend his head slightly and his eyes move slightly as if he's tracking something behind the camera moving left to right.

Also, you can see the entire head move as is inhales & exhales! You cannot do CGI in that many layers easily. Do any of you really think these people spend there entire lives and income to make a hoax (and a very expensive hoax at that), when they have nothing to gain. It would cost more to make than they could ever make back if this was a hoax. Todd Standing has been called a fraud for years, yet not once have I seen anyone prove it! I give Todd a ton of credit for all he's accomplished! I think the real mystery behind Sasquatches is that so many people (claiming to be intelligent) can sit in their living rooms, completely ignoring all the DNA, video and photographic evidence and say 'this is a hoax'. There IS definitive proof that these animals exist. Period. At least 2 US Government documents show their territory, list eating & nesting habits, etc. The U.S. Air Force Pilots' survival map for N.W. North America clearly list Sasquatches as 'indigenous fauna'! Wake up and go into the forest, you may be surprised at what you find!!!

With all the new footage i have seen tonight, i've definitely gone over to the dark side! Fake as fook! i did really want to believe but im laughing at this point. The blink is very robotic as most have pointed out. The uphill runner was more like a waddle. not fluid or stealthy. legs were way too big, with no weight to them. don't know how les stroud was sold on any of this

I watched the blink more than once, of course, and if you look real close it looks like it blinks twice. You need to watch the YouTube clip (Not the Vine) but it looks like a big blink then a small eye lid closes just a few seconds after that. Watch the eyeball closely.

The show hasn't aired here so this footage is all I've seen ofsurvivorman bigfoot shows. I have questions. Was Todd out in the wild with les and was this footage shot during that time? I believe les to be and honest and credible person after years of watching his shows and some interviews he's done such as a 3hr interview on Joe Rogan podcast. I don't believe les would dupe us and if he saw fit to air this footage and if it was truly shot on expedition with him then I'll buy that it's probably genuine. The big question is was Todd duping les and did he get one over on him. It certainly looks real and like what I saw in the flesh myself.

Agreed. Face isn't weathered. Hair is perfect. His sister is in film apparently. Perhaps she convinced Todd to conjure something because he failed to capture it.What was interesting was some of the growling captured in other clips.

It looks totally mechanical done with a remote control or something.... we're only seeing the head not the body and if it was the whole package with the eye blink, it would help.... or to see the video of the beast moving away or closer or anything besides just a mechanical eye blink..... I believe, just not in that, especially with how easy it is to buy from web materials needed.

Ok. I decided that this is fake..1. First shot: Camera tries to focus on figure behind branches. Camera struggles to focus. You'd have to shoot manual to get that. Clip cuts and camera moves to the right about two feet or so to be able to get the shot. The head remains completely static. Why? Because it is inanimate special effects piece. Well crafted but totally devoid of life. Also, for animals that are so aware surely they would know that they are being watched.2. There is no audio. Why? Because in the final clip the cameraman is telling the puppet master to trigger the eye blink. This head is also devoid of any life as well. It appears soulless. That's because it is inanimate object. Note also how it does not make eye contact with the camera and seems to be totally unaware of its presence.Standing is a conundrum, he clearly hoaxed this but yet I was impressed with his savvy on the show.I can only think that perhaps he felt compelled to stage what he saw and then enlisted his sister to help because he does appear to have genuine bigfoot tracking knowledge.

This is so incredibly fake! Every aspect of the story is friggin fake! That thing blinks exactly like any animated prop in any haunted house attraction I have ever been to!! Not to mention that fact that no Bigfoot is going to stand there and let someone reposition themselves for a better close up shot! I'm shocked that there is even a debate about it!

I don't think its a fake. Have any of you guys ever seen a young dog or bear for that matter just stare. Sometimes just the mind trying to figure out what the hell something is can make "anything" look robotic in nature. To me it looks like a young bigfoot, very young, (I think maybe younger than what Todd thinks) maybe 3-4 years at most. This is for all the skeptics who don't believe, watch any young animal this includes human. Curiousness can make you look animated. I live in Indiana and I've seen a squatch twice one was eating crayfish out of a creek about 100 yards or so from me. Indiana people they are real I know what I saw.

Because he's a weird dude and has grown weirder over the last few years. Has to keep his blog making money so he pretends there's some ground breaking footage to see. He's done this several times now. Amateur hour.

This isn`t a "real" blink...just look at the way the part above the eye is pulled down as it blinks...now YOU blink and you will see that the ONLY part that moves when blinking is the actual eye-lid...this is MORE bullshit.

Ok here is what happened on show..this was saved to last part of show Les talks about his search for bigfoot and the experts associated with it.He brings u todd and his rep..he then says this following footage stopped him in his tracks and this is why he used Todd..Todd claims it is a juvenile and was watching him for about 30 mins..the bigfoot was unfazed by Todd..the video has Todd panting and last for about 15 sec..If fake it is very impressive and costly and quite frankly im not sure Standing has the finances or the technology to pull this off

Those who definitely say it's real are as stupid as those who definitely say it's fake--unless you've had so many encounters with the big hairy man that you are an expert on what bigfoot blinking is supposed to look like. In that case, cite your personal knowledge of bigfoot blinking. Same goes to you bigfoot hair experts.

Personally I'm torn on this. I'm personally leaning towards fake but there's stuff that doesn't add up on EITHER side.

If it's fake ...

1. Why would Todd make such a fantastic prop and try to make money off a hoax instead of taking this fantastic skill to hollywood? "Because he's an idiot entrepreneur" could actually be the answer here because he's obviously not an idiot costume maker if it's fake.2. Why would he make two props that look very different? The other BF's eyes are round and wide with fat lips compared to this one.3. The facial features are fantastic (except for the nose on this one. But I'm no sasquatch nose expert.) 4. The blinking is slow and it does seem odd that the eyebrow would move so much with a blink, but who here is an expert on squatch facial muscle and hair structure? The eyes look really legit AFTER the blink as you can see them move independently.

If it's real ...

1. Why does Todd Standing seem like such a blowhard douche?2. Why does the footage cut off when it does? Why doesn't he just keep filming until the bigfoots leave or his arm falls off?3. Why is there no sound? Even if it's just Todd breathing and wind, leave the sound in place!4. How did he get TWO closeups when nobody else in the world has gotten even ONE? And why do they both show the exact same portion of the bigfoots as though he used the exact same stage-setup.5. I'm sure there are lots of people who would try to sell their legit footage if they worked hard to achieve it, but it still weakens credibility. Proof of sasquatch will bring scientists and media who will all pay regardless of whether you try to market your own videos and documentaries.

Bottom line is there are more red flags to me on this then there are ... uh ... green flags. But again, could it be real? Sure. Why couldn't a self promoting douche be the one who gets the first two close-ups of sasquatch?

I want to believe and am definitely open minded about these things but come on. The head looks good, I'll give him that but it doesn't raise a brow, open its mouth, turn it's neck or anything other then a very fake and mechanical looking eye blink. I hope I'm wrong but this just screams fake to me. I'm not sure how anyone can blindly accept this as authentic

i agrre with u Bikinimower....no movement except a blinking eye...how u get so close and no movement...neither one leaves it just stops video tapping....like saying thats good enough....anyone would have started walking backwards or something would have happened...BUT....the second episode...that bigfoot running on the side of the mountain looked real....

have a hard time believeing this one.i do think bigfoot is real (likely some unknown north american gorilla) but this one scream hoax to me.how it's filmed (love to see uncut; did he stop filming and move over? i think msot would keep rolling)how bigfoot doesn't move at all. even while buddy moves around a few times to get a better shot.

love for it to be real, but have a hard time believing it (shame how stupid people do hoaxes, and screw up possible research. where even if it's real, part of us thinks hoax)

When the subject blinks, a small portion of the lower brow moves, just a little. This suggests that it's moving based on the movement of the eyelid. While costumers and make up effects artists commonly glue prosthetic pieces to the face, I've never seen this glue being applied directly to eyelid to create this effect.

If you think this is real go back to the eye-blink gif and do something smart: don't focus on the blinking eye; look at the rest of his face and notice none of it moves.

Now go to a mirror and blink your eye, you will notice your cheeks contort, wrinkles are formed and many muscles are utilized.

This is so mechanical it just hurts. Have worked in production in many commercials and know when something is 'set-up' not only is the mechanical evidence there, the setting is manicured. I mean he goes from a shady, out of focus shot where little is seen; presumably a guy wearing a heavy continuous fur.

Then the camera mysteriously gets PERFECT focus at the most IMPORTANT feature.

Such B.S. dripping off every point of this tripe.

Don't get me wrong either, I believe the squatch is real, the audio recordings are there. Todd Standing though CONTINUES to be a blight on the community with bullshit like this, its not like any 'squatchers get an ounce of respect... when you fake something so important to the core of the community you don't belong.

Have to agree it looks like a maks or puppet. Mechanical eye blink, every hair is in place, no weathering features or wrinkles. When it's in the bush there's that one branch right in the very center to prevent anyone from getting a good view. He could move the camera without moving his body. Really disappointed in this so called real video captures.

1. Les Stroud has probably spent more time in the truly deep temperate forests than *any* researcher. If he thinks they're there....

2. Watch it on HD. Referencing the "juvenile" only, the video does look...almost oddly clear. However, I do know that super high end camera equipment can and does get exactly that kind of detail. The creatures in the videos are very clear. There is snow on the fur, some inconsistent color around the mouth, wrinkle lines around the upper lip/nose, and matted fur in places. The fur on the lower left jawline is curled and matted like it has been pushed around by arm/shoulder movement. A little 'whispy' bit coming off the head above the right eye. Everything that should be there IS there. Every hair is not in place...

I keep going back and forth on this one. But, most people who read this blog probably think there is a north american great ape, so why couldn't Todd Standing happen to get the video? Couldn't this be *the* video? It certainly fits "known" Sasquatch behavior.

If this is a fake....whoever did it must already work in "Hollywood", or is a fool not to.

This isn`t a "real" blink...just look at the way the part above the eye is pulled down as it blinks...now YOU blink and you will see that the ONLY part that moves when blinking is the actual eye-lid...this is MORE bullshit.

I read all of these comments on this blog and not one mentioned the REAL cause behind this *obviously* FAKE footage: RATINGS = $.

Do you honestly think Les would do a 2-part special only to come up empty just like "Finding Bigfoot" does each week? No, he has to give people a reason to talk and blog post (i.e., this one) so he goes all-in on a hoax to make some big $$. No other Bigfoot show has come close to footage--or anything really--so Les has upped the ante by providing his own "proof."

TV, ratings, and actors are all about $$--nobody on national or cable TV is simply doing it for fun.

Why couldn't this be real? It looks too detailed to be mechanical. If Todd was that good he should be in Hollywood making $$$. He wouldn't be wasting his working years chasing a hoax. He has found something that has formed a mission in his life despite first wanting to prove they don't exist. He was probably as stunned by the reality of what he encountered and cHanged his tune. The efforts he has put into locating Sasquatch is at least convincing of his passion on the topic. Perhaps it is best no one believes in them so that they aren't hunted down. I hope they do, turn science on it's heels.

Why did he stop filming? If I was actually recording video footage of a Sasquatch, I wouldn't stop filming until it was out of sight or my battery ran out! I certainly wouldn't have stopped until it moved a little bit!

It might have something to do with the fact that every passing second makes it more and more obvious that he's filming an immobile prop.

watch survivorman bigft ep 2 with the massive trees on a cliff standing straight up with no roots..... and the bipedal gigantipythicus thing striding up that massive cliff then kneeling down all slow and creepy....!>>!>!>! weird as f but it had me thinking... yeah todds videos are wack but what about strouds explanations??? is he lying and putting those massive trees there and breaking those massive trees waaaaaaaaay the f up in the mountain 100 miles from civilization??? I don't know... I hope hes not lying...

I'm curious as to why there is only footage of the neck or shoulder on up and nothing of the bodies? So far, no one has brought this up. I would love to believe this is real footage, but it seems too well done and Standing made monetary gain from the alleged Sylvanic video. Not to mention, no footprints, no vocalizing, and somehow through the Bigfoot intimidation, the camera isn't even shaking. The log hurled, looks like it tumbled off a cliff with a nudge, not thrown at him. Not calling Todd a liar, just hard to believe the credibility when it lacks too much evidence to suddenly get crystal clear images of sasquatch on video.
